No fables.

But Paul makes very clear that the New Covenant doesn't destroy God's working out the old one with Blood Israel.

So, the fables tell us.
 
They sure do!!!!!!
 

 
 
NIV Jeremiah 31:31-32
 31.  "The time is coming," declares the LORD, "when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
 32.  It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to  them, "  declares the LORD.

 
 
 
NIV Luke 22:20
 20.  In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
 
NIV 1 Corinthians 11:25
 25.  In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me."
 
NIV 2 Corinthians 3:6
 6.  He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant--not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
 
NIV 2 Corinthians 3:13-17
 13.  We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at it while the radiance was fading away.
 14.  But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away.
 15.  Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts.
 16.  But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
 17.  Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
 
NIV Galatians 4:24-26
 24.  These things may be taken figuratively, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar.
 25.  Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children.
 26.  But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother.
 
NIV Hebrews 7:21-22
Because of this oath, Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.
 
NIV Hebrews 8:6-10
 6.  But the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, and it is founded on better promises.
 7.  For if there had been nothing wrong with that first covenant, no place would have been sought for another.
 8.  But God found fault with the people and said : "The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
 9.  It will not be like the covenant I made with their forefathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them,  declares the Lord.
 10.  This is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.
 11.  No longer will a man teach his neighbor, or a man his brother, saying, `Know the Lord,' because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.
 12.  For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more."
 13.  By calling this covenant "new," he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.
